Tony Kinnear, SVP Asia, Thomson Reuters, Legal added: “This is an important initiative for Thomson Reuters. As a growing number of businesses are attracted to Korea the need for English translations will continue to rise. Thomson Reuters, Legal is committed to provide this information to our customers.”
